That’s why no one should blindly trust Wikipedia. There’s no evidence for the Japanese “go” light ever having a blue color, the first traffic lights in Japan were imported from the US and the first Japanese traffic law to mention traffic li

> A "greenhorn" or other inexperienced person is also Aoi. The etymology of that is different though. In Japanese it's because babies have a blue spot on their ass.

青 encompassed both blue and green until the Meiji era, even now there are plenty of common words that use “ao” in place of “Midori” See: 青菜、青リンゴ、etc. At one point the traffic law referred to 緑色 traffic lights, but was updated to 青色 post-war

It’s possible you grew up. I literally couldn’t tell you a difference between the last two generations of PlayStation and Xbox except that one is made by Sony and one is made by Microsoft, but both consoles have their fan communities.

It’s easy to tell from the photos in the article that the iPhone is making up a lot of the images. It’s like a dream, it looks perfect until you start paying attention, and your brain starts filling in the gaps with nonsense. To me, that’s

Sorry If I’m misunderstanding something, but aren’t both of the things you mentioned already a reality? I thought RAWs included jpeg already, and Bridge already has an option to prefer that.

China already tried that trick with Japan and it turned out to not be a big deal. > Even more so if they annex/invade Vietnam. Don’t you think that will start WWIII in itself? Vietnam definitely won’t go down without fight, and the

I too consider the 4kxx releases to be the “canonical” OT now, but there’s such a huge gulf between Harmy’s and GOUT and whatever the f**k Lucasfilm did to the colors for the DVD that I’m willing to forgive its shortcomings.

The two times a stack won’t die are if they are stationed in a city or fortress. Any other time the whole stack will die if the top defender gets destroyed.

Civ2 added some absurd hidden bonuses to AI units to give them a chance in the endgame. My veteran armors will never forget getting mowed down by knights.

I think the only improvement that can’t exist together with fortresses in Civ2 is the airbase, and that can be a nuisance because airbases are bugged and act as a farm even on mined squares.

RA popularized plain old tank rushes though. They were somewhat mitigated by RA2 in that units other than basic tanks were actually worth spending money on. Finally, Generals brought in “death balls” of rocket soldiers.

I think part of the reason that people will have one Kei (or 5 number) car and one 3 number car is that there are a lot of narrow streets, tight corners, and parking spaces that 3 number cars will barely manage that are much easier to navig

Japanese speed limits are in dire need of reform. Police need to prove that you were speeding so every speed limit is set 20km/h under the de facto speed limit for the road. Driving at 60km/h on a road where people expect you to d
